2014 4K TVs from LG, Samsung and Sony will have the necessary specification, and the latest Netflix app, allowing them to stream 4K content. You'll also of course need a pretty fast and solid broadband connection.

However, any thoughts that the Ultra HD floodgates would now burst open should be tempered.

A Netflix spokesman told What Hi-Fi?: "Initially, there will only be a few titles on Netflix available in Ultra HD.

"We will have House of Cards S2 as well as a few nature documentaries. We will add more titles over time, but it will be a slowly expanding offering."

'Slowly expanding offering' doesn't sound too promising, but clearly it remains very early days for Netflix 4K with compatible TVs only now coming to market.

Some pre-production Samsung TVs are now going out to journalists, with the HDTVTest site sharing screen grabs and first impressions of the service.
